Oasis Girls School In Kenya

Our names are Purity Ndanu Musembi and Judith Musembi, we are a girls of seventeen years old and fifteen years old respectively. We have been brought up in a family of eight. We have two brothers and three sisters. We are the second born and third born respectively. The first born is a boy of now twenty years. He has completed his primary school education. Our parents are both alive. Our mother has no occupation, so she is a housewife. Our father depends on his small scale farm when rains come so that he may cater for our living, but if the rains fail, he has to look for casuals which are very rare.

When my brother finished his primary school course, he could not continue his education since my father was not able to pay school fees. When we completed primary school, we had passed well with a B+ grade, but we had also to stay at home. We could not be able to continue with our secondary education because our dad had no money. We stayed always in payers for God to show us the way so that we could have a chance in any secondary school. We went on praying until the end of the year 2006, when God answered our prayers. Our Principal in Travellers Oasis Centre had requested for any girls in our village who had passed well in her national examinations.

Fortunately, we had qualified his chance so we had to come here in Travellers Oasis Centre School, we was admitted in form one in January 2007and January 2009. We are now in form three and form one respectively we hope that we will continue doing well while we work hard, our diet here is very good. We take four meals each day so our health is kept

We thank God for His answer to my prayers. We also thank you very much for assisting my Principal to account for my education. We promise to work very hard under God’s mercies. We would like to be a doctor and a lawyer in future. So we are doing well in sciences. Thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully,
PURITY NDANU MUSEMBI AND JUDITH MUSEMBI

I am Mary Nthiw’a, in Form Two. This is my seventeenth year, being born in 1992. I am the fourth born in a family of seven children.
My parents lived together since their marriage, until 2005 when they had a disagreement and separated. Our home, where my father had a small piece of land, was Mtito-Andei, but after the separation, my mother had to leave with five of us, since my two elder sisters had been married.

My mother’s homeland is in Kasikeu, a small town neighbouring Sultan Hamud that is where she took us before finding a temporary home near Sultan Hamud. This is where; during the rainy season she buys fruits from the farmers around and sells just along the road. My three younger sisters study in a Primary school, just near our home. My elder brother is jobless and also stays with us under my mother’s care.

Fortunately, after I finished my primary education, having scored 372 marks out of 500 marks, my mother, who likes interacting with people very much, was told about Travellers Oasis Centre School. She came and talked to the Principal who accepted to give me a chance to study, and for this I am very grateful and determined to succeed too.
Thank you very much for supporting our principal to help us in our education.

May goodness and grace from God always be with you.

Yours faithfully,
MARY NTHIW’A
